Bio:
Storm Force is the explosive new band that fans of classic hard melodic rock have all been waiting for.Led by Canadian rock legends Brighton Rock founder and lead guitarist Greg Fraser and featuring one of today’s most powerful and versatile lead vocalists in Patrick Gagliardi (formerly of Surface Tension), their debut record produced by Darius Szczepaniak (Black Crowes, Sum 41, Big Sugar) combines colossal, crushing melodic rock with hook-laden ballads and massive choruses reminiscent of vintage Cinderella, balanced by classic rock sensibilities of acts like The Who and Van Halen.The group hails from Niagara Falls, Canada and is rounded out by the blistering one-two punch rhythm section of ex-Panik and Step Echo drummer Brian Hamilton and sought-after session musician and touring bassist Mike Berardelli.Storm Force’s ground breaking new record is the result of a rich blend of rock influences spanning Triumph, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Foreigner, and so many more, and is available on Escape Music worldwide.
Album:
Storm Force hail from Canada and although a new band they have a familiar name in their ranks, Brighton Rock founder and guitarist Greg Fraser. Joining him are vocalist Patrick Gagliardi, drummer Brian Hamilton and bassist Mike Berardelli. Their debut record is produced by Darius Szczepaniak (the Black Crowes) and it is a bit of a riff monster! They certainly draw their influences from the hard rock sound of the 80′s, adding in their own take and a little more metal into the overall sound.Opener ‘Because Of You’ sets the scene nicely with heavy hard rock riffs and the soaring, earthy vocals of Patrick Gagliardi, who is a bit of a find. Serena Pryne duets on ‘Breathe’ and the title track, another powerful singer and perfect for these two songs.No surprise that there is a bit of Brighton Rock in their sound, none more so than on ‘Ride Like Hell’. A song like that would sound great played live. However, the standard does drop a bit on the pedestrian ‘Dirty Vegas’.‘Different Roads’ and ‘More Than You Know’ provide the album’s ballads, with ‘Different Roads’ throwing it all in the mix from a simple piano/vocal intro through to a big production with strings finale.Timeless melodic hard rock from Storm Force and one to be played loud. An impressive debut and plenty to enjoy.
